- W2136048265 abstract "Education is ever changing. The latest development, the introduction of the Bachelor-Master structure, has shifted the focus of the educational system to more activating and practical pedagogy. Parallel to this change, the number of students at the Delft University of Technology will increase drastically in the next ten years. Up till now, the solution was to build larger lecture rooms. However, research shows that on average only 32% of the seats in the Delft University of Technology lecture rooms is used. This calls for a different approach; not the number of seats should be increased, but the utilisation of seats. This utilisation can be increased by a higher flexibility of rooms. A part of this flexibility can be achieved by the upcoming technology of video conferencing; lecture rooms can be linked to each other and students in one lecture room can watch a lecture given in another lecture room. With the help of aiming microphones and cameras, students can even ask their questions to the teacher from another room. This is already being tested at the faculty of 3ME. The other possibility to increase flexibility is by changing furniture. The furniture in the rooms at the DUT currently has only one purpose; either lectures or group work. Increasing the possibilities of the rooms can cause more usage and thus enlarge efficiency. Such creation of flexibility by developing new furniture was the goal of this project. Furniture company Eromes also saw an opportunity in this project and with the help of their experience and manufacturing possibilities a piece of furniture had to be designed that could accommodate both lectures and group work. It had to be easy to use and combine the work space and comfort of a group work table, with power and network connections, and the practical side of fixed lecture furniture. The result of this project is the Flexstool; lecture room furniture capable to accommodate both lectures and group work or a combination of both. The latter allows lectures to have practical intermezzos. The Flexstool consists of a frame with a fixed table, a bench and two rotating chairs. Each Flexstool unit can be used by five or, if necessary, six persons. Two persons can take place on the rotating chairs in the front and three or four can be seated on the bench. The users seated on the bench use a fixed table, while the users on the rotating chairs use tables attached to their chairs. These will rotate with the chairs, resulting in an individual table when in lecture mode and, when joined with the fixed table, one large group table. If the Flexstool is used in three combined lecture rooms, each with a current capacity of 100 seats, the occupation of these rooms can be increased from 64% to 100% and the utilisation of the rooms can be increased from 21% to more than 60%. Besides a computer design, a prototype of the Flexstool was made. This prototype is a complete working model of the design, with the same aesthetics as the Flexstool would have when produced in series." @default.
